The Grief Movement Community Experience
This is a new walking-based grief group for Middlebury College students who have experienced the death of a person. Once a week, you'll gather as a group. You'll start in a short circle, where you'll have the chance to name and honor your people. Then you'll go on a walk together.
Between gatherings, you'll get some optional content to help deepen the experience. Take what's helpful, leave what isn't.
This isn't your typical grief group. Consider moving with us.

Why Join the Grief Movement Community? Words From Our Community
“Grief can often feel isolating, but walking side by side in a supportive environment created space for participants to share their experiences, emotions, and memories without judgment. The simple act of walking together often made difficult conversations feel more natural and accessible, allowing people to process their grief at their own pace.” — Facilitator, Massachusetts
“[Movement, Community, and Ritual] were critical in forming trust and honoring my son. I absolutely need this group. I need to move in nature with others who understand the depth of grief and don’t judge.” — Participant, Connecticut
“This was a safe and pleasant way to spend time with others who are on a grief journey. I appreciated that the rituals were the same every week, and the ways we came together to shift from everyday life into a unique (and sacred) circle/group” — Participant, Vermont
“The consistency of meeting once a week created a strong, loving community and helped regulate my routine.” — Participant, Texas
“I feel like it’s the best thing I’ve done for my grief.” — Facilitator, Connecticut
